Overview

Quasi-experimental evaluation shows significant risk reduction in municipal infrastructure, indicating effectiveness of asset management systems.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates the impact of asset management systems on infrastructure risk metrics in municipalities.
  • Difference-in-differences design comparing 12 intervention municipalities with 12 control municipalities.
  • Assessment of infrastructure risk scores derived from condition, criticality, and capacity indices.
  • Evaluation conducted at two different time points to measure changes in risk scores.
  • Formal asset management systems were linked to an 18.2% reduction in aggregate infrastructure risk scores.
  • The reduction was more significant for water infrastructure compared to road networks.
  • Sensitivity analysis confirmed the finding's robustness against unobserved confounding factors.
